I can't wait to play at target field. all of the scoreboards look amazing! I love that they have the new signs and the twins "power" tower in right field. Do you think they will let fans ride on it? I'm only kidding.

carrot juice, i was in the same boat as you this time last year and i went with my gut...and let me tell you, buying a ps3 was the smartest thing i ever did...if you are a die hard baseball fan like me, then this game is a must have

Yeah, Im pretty damn close. BTW, can you draw walks in this game pretty well? And how hard is it to throw stikes? Hopefully the pitching is a real challenge with the new controls as far a locating pitches.

The last time I played any of the "the show" was the PS2 2006 version. Outside of graphics, has the gameplay changed much since then?

well the only one I played was the show 10 and it can be very difficult to throw strikes some times...it depends on the situation, who your pitching to, and how who your pitcher is...its definitely noticeable that as your pitcher tires its harder to locate pitches...especially if your pitching to someone like pujols and ryan howard..if you tryin to paint the black and dont get the cursor lined up in the pitching meter, then its a good chance you throw a ball or a cockshot...imho this is one of the most challenging games pitching(if you play on allstar difficulty or higher)

as for drawing walks and hitting, all im gonna say is be patient because if your not and you swing at everything, the pitcher will pick up on it and throw a lot of balls out of the strike zone...if your patient and wait for the right pitch, you will get a good amount of hits and draw a fair amount of walks this way

but if you have the cash, then you should definitely pick up a ps3 and the show...check your local craigslist and see if you can find a used one if you dont wanta pay for a new one

I think it is a age thing Knight. I would bet people in their late 30's and older when seeing this game is in baseball heaven. I am just happy to see the real stadiums and player models that is not a red or blue stick. The game looks so amazing and the wow!

I'm 20 and am ecstatic about it lol

Cool, glad to hear that.

I'll be curious how easy the analog pitching is to "master" compared to the meter pitching. I forget which slider changes the accuracy (pitch accuracy or control?) but I always lower that a bit to make sure that even when you hit everything perfectly the ball still doesn't go exactly where you want it to every single time.

Yeah, I fall in that category (33) remembering when this game was hot!

[tril]

one thing that will bother me and I hope its an option we can turn off is;
The batter animation , he says "when you swing it cuts to a side animation of the batter pulling his bat to hit".
I dont like that at all. has a very canned prescripted animation quality to it. makes the game lose its real time feel.

Oh yeah, Atari baseball was the game for me back in the day, along with Dr. J vs. Larry Bird

Hey, do you 30-plus guys remember a game (I am totally blanking on the name) that was like a mini baseball stadium and there were small keypads on either side (so you could play two-player) and you'd have to input certain numbers to try and hit, pitch and field the ball? The stadium had speakers on it and the announcer would do a decent job of play-by-play.

I remember spending a lot of time with that thing and wish I had held onto it, especially now that I can't recall what it was called.

Yes! Man, that thing was pretty cool. I may have to dig around some places on the 'net and see if I can score one.

Lol.....I still have it. That and a few other old ones including the colecovision system with the sports controllers/Intellivision etc.... Once I get them out of the farm house attic I'll post a pic...
I remember me and a cousind would laugh our butts off but had a blast with the sports talking FB also
They'd say things like:
"Pitch to the left.......he breaks a tackle!!....goes left..... 2 guys miss....Tackle at the 40...... Gain of 1"
All I have is fun memories of that but could you imagine the outcry today if that was the case?
"I can't believe they have him breaking tackles etc.. and he only gets 1 f'n yard!! Lazy developers!!"

Anyways
We're old.....
